First of all, I would like to welcome this newsgroup creation.  I have had
Coherent running on a 286 portable for 5 months and am just now really starting
to use it.  For other users information, I have been able to download and
compile CoMB, less, deliver, and Clam and all are working well.  Thanks go out
to those who have spent the time to port and create these packages!  (Oh, Oh.
I can't forget xcmalt.  I am using it now and it works great! :))
  
Now, on to my problem.  Whenever I run the 'nroff -man file' command on a file
that contains the '.TP' macro command, nroff gets hung up.  This has especially
been a problem on the Clam.1 file provided with clam.  All the other macro
commands provided with Coherent's man macro set seem to work fine.
  
Has anybody else run into this at all?  Any ideas on what the problem might be?
I am concentrating on other things right now and can't take the time to debug
the nroff man macro problem.  I would appreciate any assitance.
